How about half-orcs and half-elves?
A nice contrast to Francis build wise, the spiritualist vs. the materialist.
found ya :)
Aarons last post reminded me of this, linky.
Ah, well, can't say I'm not disappointed but I'll have Victor ready to stand by as an alternative.
On the discussion of balancing character I'd like to point out that Victor is only 24 pt buy stat wise, I rolled abhorrently, versus what seems at a quick glance to be ranging in the high 30's to lower 40's point wise. Not that I mind weaknesses in a character I just think that looking solely at Victor's race as an issue in the balance of power is ignoring half of the picture. Edit; Ninjad by DM A.
@Uncle Taco; Gods, yes. I'm game.
Well then, I might just stay up a bit...
Sorry. School project and now I'm off to bed.
EDIT - Sigz, have a shiny Asmodean star for effort! That's quite some ambition. Should have been easy as you've all come to the attentions of the inquisition at one time or another, I instead tried to incorporate it into the rp. But plot twist! What if instead of subtracting from the tally the votes get added to the tally instead as Sir Balin might be looking for the one we want least to die?
Nope, you're not alone there. I had actually planed on trying to incorporate all of your backstories into mine but ran out of time.
+1 Of course only one will hang. They only brought one rope, and is readily apparent, these Mitrans are not creative enough to reuse it. Yup, a single rope and platform is mentioned by the GM, no plural there. But with the cruelty they are displaying by turning this into a spectacle makes one wonder... They just might make us wait while the one stops twitching and then send up another.
I'm thinking that the votes we cast now are subtracted from the total tally from our voting and GM Asmodeus's notes and the one with the lowest score will see the noose. Could be wrong, but it makes sense. And I'm sensing more scenes coming up that will reduce our numbers further, that's assuming that only one of us will actually hang.
Can we have the top six so we know who to eliminate ;P
Lol, Paimon is getting endearing.
And I'm aboard with Tkaara on that one :) Please let's keep arguing, it's all in good fun right?
I'm aboard with F. Castor.
I think our votes of who is to die are to be given when prompted in the gameplay thread by Sir Balin. Ah!
Mikhail used his guise to convince Hallen - now Markadian III - to fly off the spires of the castle.. lol! I'd say go for it.
Oh snap! Just realized that I've been yammering on about aasimars fire resistance... Aasimars aren't resistant to fire, should have made that a skiing accident, an avalanche or such :(
The ranger might be the closest class we have to a martial class... Remember that nothing is set in stone regarding the stat blocks yet, many concepts I see can easily work for several different classes, some, no so easy though.
Background:
Victor should be dead by now, so everyone keeps telling him, from his cousin Thomas as they were playing knights as children, to his father, Faerin Auroran Karash, who never seemed to get over the fact that Victor had risen from his sickbed as a child, and never seemed to have forgiven Victor for not being what he expected, pure, good and healthy either, and now to Sir Balin who said he was a disgrace to everything the church of Mitra stood for. Baah! Everyone kept saying that he should be dead by now, yet he kept living, just to spite them, he kept on living, a regular dead man walking. Maybe this cell would finally be what killed him, or the executioners axe, or was he to burn? That might prove an interesting experiment seeing as he was inherently resistant to fire. To hell with Mitra and everything she stood for, false prophets all of them! With a first hand view of the inner workings of the church and it's inquisition Victor could tell you that not one in ten showed the conviction in faith to manifest any sort of divine blessings, not one in ten was anything more than a liar in golden robes. Clerics? Baah! False prophets and preachers of a weak faith convenient to their own weak selves, selfish bastards who craved nothing more than a soft bed and a supple body to warm it for them, gold was the only thing they understood or revered. And paladins? Huh? Heraldry and gilded armor does not make a paladin, the texts talk about paladins, men and women whose virtue is so pure that they manifest the powers of good in every action they make. Curing diseases with a mere touch of their hands, their mere presence a ward against fear and evil, their weapons a bane against evil. There were no paladins on this day, only trumped up knights filled with their own egos, at least that was the only sort of paladin Victor had met. Victor could manifest power, oh yes, he could. Not just the power of controlling a mans fate, bound in leather and iron to a sturdy oaken chair in the inquisition dungeons, that was power of a different sort, no, his mere touch could drain a man of his stamina and could cause a man pain for every lie he told, he had shown and manifested the power granted by Asmodeus, and now they would condemn him for it.
Victor had joined the church when all hopes had finally been crushed that he might join the ranks of the Knights of the Alerion, his family traced their lineage to the Battle of Tamberlyn, where Victor's great-grandfather, Aurus Karash, a 'paladin' of Mitra, had been among the ranks to hold the bridge, so Victor's denial into the knights ranks had seemed like the final blow to House Karashs ambitions to gleam some prestige out of the celestial blooded child born to them. Well, the final blow 'till now anyway. When Victor had been born the vultures of the ailing House Karash had all squealed with joy, his burnished-copper skin and the golden sheen to his blond hair could mean only one thing; the blood of celestials ran through the veins of House Karesh. The implications were staggering and Victors father, a third son of the fourth son born to a maid who was said have died at childbirth, soon became the most popular man to have at any party or minor gathering of every person of any import who could claim any iota of relation to the celestial child, and so Victor grew up in castles, mansions and manors, surrounded by doting aunts and uncles all claiming the title of favorite and all wanting the golden boy to live with them for one reason or another. And so Victor grew up with plenty. Plenty of food, plenty of clothes, plenty of the loving attentions of his elders and plenty of the jealous attentions of his peers. Victor was far from the only child of his generation, there was Thomas and Bertrin, brothers separated by two years who loved nothing better than wrestling, playing tag, Knights and Knaves with the rest of the herd of boys, Antoin, Mikail and Sustian, and other physically demanding games, friendly games on the surface in which the strong and healthy Victor always excelled in despite not being the eldest, but games ripe with competition and jealousy, Victor had lost count of how many times Thomas said, untruly, that Victor should be dead in Knights and Knaves or that Victor had not tagged him. As boys are, they soon split into two rivaling groups, one led by Victor with Mikail and Sustian, and the other led by Thomas, ever competitive and ever jealous. And then there were the girls, Hana, Mara, Kiathrin and Admara, led by Hana they themselves wanted the attentions of Victor as well, bickering among themselves about his manner of dress and behavior, all believing they knew best, just like their mothers and aunts, all but Admara, blessed Admara, loving Admara. She had been the only one who never demanded anything from Victor, she demanded no flowers, no special behaviors and no tokens of any kind, she had been the only one where Victor could relax and be himself with. He had enjoyed he company since he could first remember her, collecting seashells by the Cambryan Bay, picking apples from the orchards in a Heartlands manor, catching fireflies in warm summer by the southern shore and sitting together in silence in large gatherings and, as they grew to teens, kissing in the hay loft of Lerkvale Ranch. Their love had been perfect, pure and innocent, it had the blessing of all around and it was the cause of many a jealous pang and bickering as well. As perfect as the love was it was not meant to last. On a perfect summer night, warm, calm and quiet, the two of them fell asleep in the hayloft, waking up to the smell of a fire burning Victor, the golden boy, the picture of health and the pillar on which all of House Karash's ambitions rested upon, jumped to action. Looking around to see the hayloft aflame he gathered his beloved in his arms and made to carry her to safety, but he never made it. The floor gave out and the two were buried in burning beams and hay, Victor lived, though he was told he should be dead, but Admara did not. Surviving solely because of his angelic heritage, his innate resistance to fire, Victor suffered few burns though some broken bones but what he suffered the most was the loss of his love. Finding little solace in the comforts of his family and friends he grew recluse and distant, finding excuses to be alone and places to hide when could not. A year of melancholy ended on his 18th birthday with Victor bound to bed, feaver burning hot with cold sweats running for days, physicians where clueless and clerics useless as nothing seemed to help alleviate Victors pains as spasm wracked his body and liquids seemed to run from his every orifice. Days on days and weeks on weeks the golden boy grew thinner and paler, everyone believed he would die. Victor heard them talk through the haze of pain, the physicians, the clerics and his father, they all agreed; there was nothing to be done, his body was rejecting his angelic blood, the boy would die, the amazing fact was that he had not done so already. But Victor heard them, and he hated them for their words and he grew to hate his family and their guile as he thought on the smiling faces of aunts, uncles and cousins, how they must leer at him now, how they must rejoice in the secret places of their hearts as he lay there, helpless, wracked with pain, a prisoner in his own body unable to control his feces. Roiling his hate into anger he fought, he fought for breath and he fought for control of his muscles, eventual his body calmed and the fever passed but his anger boiled. Rising shakingly from his bead Victor was forever changed, what should have killed him certainly had not made him stronger. His coppery skin had drained of luster on his golden hair had turned auburn, no longer catching and reflecting the light as it had, he was thinner and every movement stole his breath away and caused him to sweat from effort, causing him dizzy spells as if his lives blood now refused to flow through his body. But the change was not just physical, but mental as well. Now Victor didn't need to make excuses to not attend every gathering ever held, everyone knew his condition, his aching joints and his lack of stamina apparent as he ran out of breath in the smallest of tasks as walking down the stairs. Despite this Victors father held onto the hope that the boy might recover, after all the boy was still alive, but as a year passed that hope turned to dust. Victor displayed no increase in stamina, his appearance did not improve and neither did his attitude, but under his fathers goading Victor tried, he swung a sword and shot a bow with a trainer, he dressed in armor and nearly killed himself trying to ride a horse and Victor grew stronger, but his pains did not subside and his stamina did not improve, at the end of the year Victor even graced his father with applying to join the Knights of Alerion, an application that was promptly rejected as Victor added to the fires of his anger by humiliating himself in the tryouts, courtesy of his cousin Thomas. The humiliation drove Victor to seek out ways to separate himself from his family and it's estates and his escape route ended up being the holy church of Mitra in Matharyn. Fleeing the silent stares and the quiet accusations. Accepted with open arms into the fold of the church Victor lost himself in studies in the great library of Matharyn, spending hours, days, weeks and months and years gleaning texts and participating in holy rituals, memorizing prayers and sermons and playng the role of a dutiful acolyte, what Victor truly wanted was answers. Why was his body so week? What had caused his illness and was there no cure? Spending 3 years in the church Victor learnt a lot of things, first, humans are not to be trusted, and second, the love of Mitra is a lie. In his quest for answers Victor inadvertedly studied religious texts, anotomy and his own origin, his quest for knowledge led him down many paths and eventually his thirst for answers drew the attentions on the inquisition. They believed him to hold exactly the right qualities that they wanted, a hunger for the truth and a restlessness in seeking it, knowledge of the churches teachings and above all, a dispasionate mannerism when it came to the guilt of others. That, and his studies in anotomy, landed him in training with the inquisition where he distinguished himself in their dungeons. But Victors thirst for answers led him on the path of the forsaken, disillusioned by watching the men on the church at work he grew to resent them for their lack of displays of divine power, how could his answers lie here if there was no manifestation of divinity? Frustrated by his own lack of progress in the matter he started offering up prayers to the churches arch enamy, Asmodeus himself, as noone else seemed to be answering Victor decided that he might as well try that farce too, swearing himself to the Prince of Hell if he would show him the the path to power, if he would show him they way to his divinty, as noone else would, Victor offered up to serve the Dark Prince and to see that his place was restored in the pantheon of Talingard. With little or no hope of success Victor was taken by surprise when he manifested power during a session in the cells, nearly killing his subject. Coming to comfort with his newly manifest powers with time Victor started excelling at information retrival, so much so that he unknowingly drew the eyes of the inquisition himself. Coming in for work one morning, groggy and dishelved and feeling weaker than ever, not rightly knowing what had transpired the night before, how he got home or who he had been with, Victor was met by armed knights and clapped in irons and charged, confused at what was happening he was led away and charged with heresy.
Note:
I had to cut the last paragraph short to keep with the deadline but my intent is that Victor was being observed by a vampire, his own great grandfather, and was bitten the night before he was arrested. 10-Min Background:
1. Write five things essential to your character’s background including previous adventures and events. *Falling ill as a child; A robust and healthy child, a blessing on his house, Victor fell ill when he was 11, a result of his heritage coming forth and thought to be a clear sign that his human heritage was tainted and unworthy of the glory of a child of celestial descent, leaving him stiff with constant joint pains and with poor stamina, prone to illness and unable to participate in the children games. *Joining the Church of Mirta and subsequently being accepted into the ranks of the inquisition. *His first torture session. Having a helpless individual in front of him that he was actually allowed to hurt made something click in Victor. The power he held over the man, a butcher who was thought to have information about an Asmodean cult but admitted, under Victors ministrations, to help make a local crime syndicates dead bodies disappear. *The loss of his childhood love, Admara, in a fire which he survived. *The night before he got arrested for heresy, Victor was taken completely by surprise on the streets of Matharyn and knocked unconscious before being bitten by a vampire. Victor is groggy on the memory and unsure of what happened, but he's still alive (Victor grows up with the knowledge that he should be dead from his disease but he's hell bent on staying alive just to thwart his family and the rest of the cosmos, cousins and the would be friends of his youth, he redirects his constant pains into hate for everyone that is physically healthy, dexterous and strong and everyone else on general principle. As a result he sees everything as a challenge and he is determined to overcome). 2. List your character’s goals and things you want to see happen to your character. *Victor wants to be healthy again, to be free from the aches in his body and to regain his stamina. He wants to see his family collapse socialy and financialy and he wants to climb to the top of their power ladder, to look down on them in their squalor as they have done to him. *Become a Vampire. I want to see him grow into a full-fledged vampire inquisitor. And along those lines I want him to find out who his vampire master is and eventually surpass and kill him. 3. List two secrets about your character. Keep in mind secrets your character may not know yet. *The vampire that bit Victor is actually his great-grandfather, Aurus Karash, who knew that Victor would be arrested the day after. 4. List three people that are tied to the character through blood, romance or honor. Remember to include positive and negative reflections. *His father, Faerin Auroran Karash, who doesn't really want to know what his son is up. Having had ambitions to use Victors heritage to increase his own prestige he is deeply disappointed with how things stand and still harbors hopes that Victor will recover and marry, putting his plans back on track. *His cousin, Thomas Karash, one year Victors senior and a constant rival, Victor believes that he revels is his downfall but in truth he is wracked with a guilty conscience about his cousins current status. 5. Describe your character in detail as you see fit. Relate any additional information you believe is important or required. Include personality and mannerisms. *Victor is tall and lean, gaunt, skinny and sickly. His skin is the shade of bronze with no luster and his hair is a mat of frayed, auburn locks. His eyes are a dull green and look like they are loosing their color. Victor rarely smiles and on the ocataion it is a thin liped one, he tends to stare at peoples faces rather than meet their eyes, inspecting their body language and facial expressions in an dispassionate manner. The only time Victor locks gazes with anyone is when he is trying to glean answers from them, usually with said person tied to a chair with plenty of Victors trade instruments around. Phase Two Questionnaire: 1. How does your character interact with the others within a group? Victor is content to let others take the lead if they will and fill up any gaps as he sees them, if the gap is that of leadership, then Victor will fill that too. 2. What is your character's role in a group? Skills, melee and a touch of divine magic. He can socialize and infiltrate by disguise and act as the party face. 3. How is your character not as they seems? I want one or two skills that would surprise others if they found out he knows them. Also include personality traits, positive or negative, that would similarly surprise others. He is much stronger than his frame would suggest, a result of his celestial decent. He enjoys watching waterlilies floating around and loves a quiet spot under the shade of a tree in the sun, muching on apples as he used to do in the company of Admara. Victor has a soft side for those who show that they want nothing from him but his company. 4. What are your character's goals, conscious and, perhaps, subconscious? Victor wants to healthy again, he wants his stamina and the reflexes of his youth back, he wants to make his family hurt and he wants to expose Mitrans as the liars he believes they are. Seacretly he wants Admara to come back. 5. How easily does your character love? Have they been in love? Not easily, he is still in love with his childhood love Admara. 6. Is your character racist at all, either now or in their past? No, though he believes that there is a special place in hell for humans. 7. All people believe something that is not true, both about the world around them and about themselves. What lies/untruths does your character believe about themselves and the world around them? Hmm... Haven't though so much about this. Victor believes that his family is full of hypocrites when their actually pretty decent people, he believes that the church of Mitra is spewing lies. 8. How is your character about material possessions? Frivalous. He grew up with plenty and has never had to worry about money or it's worth. 9. What does your character perceive their major problems to be? The pain in his joints and his lack of stamina, he also believes himself to be too kind a person as his anger at his family causes him guilt. 10. What does he perceive the solutions to those problems to be? In short; Divine Power. 11. What are your character's religious beliefs? Victor believes that his way to divine power, Asmodeus, has just as much right as others and that the Mitran way is a lie. 12. What does your character fear? Dying. His brushes with death have made him take a cynical view on life and he always wonders if this thing or that thing will finally kill him so he can act like he has a deathwish but seacretly he fears death. 13. How much of a temper does your character have? What sorts of things set them off? Actually quite a hot one. The smallest things can set him off though he is implosive rather than explosive, he bottles up his anger and is aiming at going postal on Talingard in quiet, subtle ways in a dark cellar with a heavy oaken chair with leather straps and chains.
Oh yeah, dice...
Concept: Lawful Evil Angel-blooded Aasimar inquisitor (torturer master), crime: Murder with forgery and kidnapping as secondary charges. Hating the standards he was held up to as he was growing up, seeing them as hypocrisies when reflected his family and so called friends, forced to join the church he found a way to vent his frustration and anger in service of Mitras Inquisition. Party size: 6, that will help pick up any lull in posting and keep the story flowing and make drop outs a lesser impact on the game (of course nobody signs up with the intention of dropping out, but life happens). House rules: Depends. How would you change feats like blood of heroes and heroes fortune if hero points aren't gained with levels? (Yes, I'm looking to pick up those feats and turn them to villainous purposes). Phase 1 Questionnaire: 1. Your experience with the rules I've played d&d in it's various forms from '91 and have been playing Pathfinder since the beginning, always as a player with one short session as a GM, I think I am pretty rules-savvy and am unafraid to browse the pfsrd. 2. Your experience with PbP I've been playing various PbP since 2009, mainly on these boards. Longest running game is DM Barca's Kingmaker where I play Berrin Myrdal, recently made Boyar. My experience varies greatly from game to game, most I've loved, both players, my characters and the story molded, but of course there are some bad apples, but the format offers a chance for way deeper roleplaying, character- and story building than I've ever encountered on tabletops. 3. Expectations for playing and what you want out of the experience I expect a group of group thinking individuals who recognize the difference between evil and stupid and aren't looking for an outlet for childish fantasies, a group of grown ups as you said yourself in the intro post. I've yet to play a deep, functional, long-going evil game as the former has been lacking and the latter in abundance. What I want out of the experience is to be proven right; that evil can be done right. 4. Philosophy as a PbP player Have fun, play nice, pick up on the small details as much as possible from both players and the GM an weave a good story with cooperative writing. 5. Why you are applying to this game? Because you make a good first impression and DM Barcas drew my attention to the game. 6. Define what you think good role-playing is in PbP. Staying in character using your stats and alignment as guidelines, not crutches. Not mixing character knowledge and player knowledge, posts that give me a good visualization of characters, describe their actions, demeanor and behavior, making them come alive in my mind. Replying to others and finding your own reasons to play along without constantly demanding that others provide you with them. 7. What is your experience with this adventure path? I've applied for several so I've read the gazetteer several times before re-reading it for this application. I've been accepted into two, one didn't make it out of Branderscar and the other I was accepted as a late comer in a game that only used the vanilla campaign as a guideline so I don't know how much of it was a spoiler. I'll be happy to send you the details of that in a PM if you like.
hmmm... dot.

You just did 1/4711 so that's 21 turns.
Yay! New subjects :) I'll see about updating the map this evening.
Hell yes! I'm up for a scene :)
No worries, I'm having problems with my Internet provider on this end. I should have it fixed by tomorrow, but no worries.
Is there anything you can build on the water? If not, we should just work it so that you gain control of the water hexes when you control the surrounding land (and gain no increase to Control DC or increase in effective size.) +1, there is nothing we can build there unless you deem an island big enough to hold some structure like the cyclops tower island.
This all looks good Vorduvai and is in line with what I was thinking, only I think we should claim the water hexes as well on Lake Candlemere. It has no purpose but represents us having checked for reefs and isles so IC wise we'll have made the hexes safer shipping routes.
Abraxes! I choose you! (I've never played Pokemon though)
*What does "Old School" mean to you?Don't get to attached to your character and it's a good idea to have more than one ready. Side note; I always fail miserably to do that, I like characters with depth, personalities and goals in life, that's why I love pbp, and it's hard not get attached.
Well, shucks... thanks :)
First off, I'm in the GMT-zone. For the summer I'm working every other week (this week) 11 hr shifts on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday so posting would be limited to before or after work, 1 or 2 posts, depending on the pace of replies I get. Other days I'm more or less always in front of the PC so posting can sky-rocket if the pace is fast.
Today is an exception, I'm heading in for an extra shift so as I'm typing this a reply won't be forthcoming for aprox. 11 hrs though I'll check in on my phone frequently.
I'm not at all familiar with the setting or familiar with the works of Necromancer games, I've made one character aimed at Rapan Atuk which didn't get off the ground and I've browsed through your Obsidian Portal site briefly.
I'm currently in a Kingmaker Campaign here on the Paizo boards and I play Way of the Wicket and participate in an Arena game over on Rpol, I'm only a player.
Don't get to attached to your character and it's a good idea to have more than one ready. My first experience as a player was Caves of Chaos back in '91 so it was a lesson learned early and quickly. Pack a 10' pole even if you're a wizard, you can't beat everything and running away is sometimes the only valid survival tactic.
Yes, though i prefer having the options available from the other books. Why? Because the CRB has everything needed to build awesome and fun characters (and even though I've been playing Pathfinder since 1st printing I still haven't explored all the possibilities for character build) though more options are just more options and I like options.
First D&D book I read, the art holds a special place in my memories. Just can't beat this stuff.You gotta love this guy, and this is friggin awesome.
Other threads by the same GM for the same setting give the same starting gold but set the starting level at 2 or 3 so I'm going to hold off assumption.
**stuff** Also, what level are the characters starting at? **stuff** What was the starting level? **nudge**
